Obtaining Terrain Data :(

by Westy · in Torque Game Engine · 05/25/2004 (7:41 am) · 3 replies

I am totally lost on how to retrieve the terrains vertices (3 at a time for each face.

I know this is done in a getFeatures() function. However this needs to be passed a ConvexFeature whih is never used anywhere in the engine.

So any tips on how to retrieve this data?

I know it can be done as Beffy must have done it for his AI pathfinding to build the nav mesh.

Why not use buildPolyList?

ConvexFeature is a root class; we only ever use subclasses of it.

I need to retrieve the data for the Newton function 

void NewtonTreeCollisionAddFace(const NewtonCollision* treeCollision,int vertexCount, const float* vertexPtr, int strideInBytes,int faceAttribute);
